CL, I think he just wants me to sit at home while he carries on w/ his life. I say this b/c when I do make plans for just the two us and arrange for a sitter most of the time he will say no. He will do more if it's a family thing w/ the girls.
Chicki, Can you live by these rules (if it is true)? Would he harm you if you persisted in your GAL efforts?
This situation sounds more like you will need to determine if his expectations are fair or not, and if not, then you choose your level of compliance, without compromising safety.
